After seeing his grandpa feeling too bad because of hypertension, Ted Hill, 14, knew there was something wrong with his family's eating habits. He knew their eating habits needed to make a change.
Ted held seminars at health centers on weekends. He taught people to learn about hypertension at first. Ted thought it's important to know the problem first.
Ted showed interest in health science at the age of 10. He spent time studying the problem and the food that they eat.
"He is very inquisitive. He's always questioning things and trying to find the reasons," his teacher said.
Ted gave free blood pressure monitors to the people who first went to his seminar. Then he taught them how to use it at home. He also taught people how to change their eating habits. Ted said, "I should help people make better lifestyle choices."
Ted hopes to have more seminars.
